Singapore, also known as the Republic of Singapore, is located in Southeast Asia. It is an island state at the southern tip of the Malaysia Peninsula. It is one of the few remaining city-states in the world and the smallest country in Southeast Asia. It is a country of approximately 4 million peop…le, governed by a party named PAP (People's Action Party) which took over the Singapore government in 1965. History Singapore was known as Temasek, which was then governed by Malaysia. Sir Stamford Raffles then got the governance of Singapore from the rightful Malaysian Sultan Hussein, and developed Singapore into an important port in the trade between China and India. During World War 2, Singapore fell to the Japanese for two and a half years. It was then known as Syonan-to . After WW2, Singapore attempted to break free from British colonization, as many were unhappy with the British for being unable to protect Singapore. Singapore first achieved self internal governence and then the British gave up the external governence in terms of army etc later on. Singapore then went on to become a state of Malaysia, the new name of the former Malaya. Singapore achieved independence in 1965, after it broke out of Malaysia.

It's Singapore, and it's Northwest of Indonesia and Southwest ofMalaysia. (MORE)

The name "Singapore" is actually derived from the Malay word "Singapura", which literally means "Lion City". Legend states that Sang Nila Utama, a prince from Palembang, founded ancient Singapore and named it "Singapura" after he spotted an animal that resembled a lion. Recent studies, though, ha…ve found that lions have never lived there, and the beast Sang Nila Utama saw was likely a tiger. (MORE)

The British had been overconfident that the Japanese would attack from the sea and thus pointed the naval defenses towards the sea. They even described Singapore as an "impregnable fortress". Moreover, the weapons that the British had were far weaker than those of the Japanese. The British found it …unnecessary to use tanks in the jungle while The Royal Air Force could offer the ships no protection as their planes had already been destroyed by the Japanese. Hence, the battleship "Prince of Wales" and the battle cruiser "Repulse" were sunk by fast Japanese torpedo bombers. The British soldiers in Singapore were recruits, with little fighting experience. To their disadvantage, Lt. Gen Percival, leader of the British forces, was less experienced in jungle warfare compared to Japanese Lt Gen Yamashita. (MORE)

\n'Summer all year round.' was the previous answer but, what we like to say here, is that we have two: The sunny season and the rainy season! It depends when you, come and it rains quite a lot some times but, other wise it sunny, sunny, sunny!

Singapore came from the original Malay name of Singapura. Singapura, literally translates to 'Lion City', name given by a prince from Temasek who claims to have seen a lion when he first landed on the island, some hundred years ago.

It was rumored that the prince of a civilization in Jakarta came to Singapore to seek to expand his area of governance. When he first landed on this island, he saw a huge creature which resembles a lion. Hence, he named the island "Singapura", which in Malay translates into "Lion City". Singapore… is simply derived from the Malay word "Singapura". (MORE)

The only known way out of Singapore (CBD Area) is through the same way you went in, through the Airport. The ticket can be costly, (20,000 Mesos) for new players, so it is not recommended for those of a low level, and those who have low funding.

With a population of about 4,987,600 people excluding tourist in a small area of 710.2 km2 it is known to be the third most densely populated country. It's really not that crammed as long as you know where are the crowded places to avoid. Or else just keep walking along with everyone else.

It showed that Singapore is not invincible. The Natives view the British as weak and unworthy to lord over them. As a result, natives see that the British are not capable of governing their colonies. Hence, the idea of separation is brought about.

Nope. Singapore follows a unitary system of Governance where the Central Government(i.e. the Legislature/Executive/Judiciary) is the only layer of government. The 'Mayor'(s) of Singapore is the leader of the Community Development Council(CDC) without any major legislative/executive functions.

The President of Singapore generally holds limited power. He is in charge of maintaining foreign relations with other countries. Other than that, the President also acts as a safeguard because he has the ability to veto the use of government reserves in Singapore. In addition, he control appoi…ntments to key civil service appointments, and he can examine the enforcement of the Internal Security Act and Maintenance of Religious Harmony Act. Plus, he can authorize corruption investigations on any member of the parliament. (MORE)
